Chapter 542 : Fierce Battle at the Pass
The string is like thunder, and the arrows are like rain.
The elves who learned the tortoise shell formation from the Romans didn’t rush and let the torrential rain composed of arrows hit the iron-plated shield, splashing brilliantly amid the clanging collision. spark.
Under the cover of the rain of arrows, three hundred death squads dismounted and became infantrymen. They wore two layers of leather armor, held a tower shield the size of a door, and began to charge with the same sharp javelin and arrows of the high elves. Ten people’s injuries rushed to the wooden stakes and horses. While they raised their tower shields to defend against attacks, they used flail, bones, and axes to destroy the fortifications of the elves. The arms of several barbarians violently rose, and the axe fell in hand. After cutting three times in a row, he broke a sharp wooden stake alive.
And another person shook the iron chain of the flail. The end of the chain was covered with spiked iron balls, spinning rapidly in the air, making a terrifying whistling sound, and with a fierce bang, it collapsed a block of earth alive. wall.
Several elven soldiers in chain mail rushed forward in a whistling manner, trying to prevent them from destroying the fortifications. However, a nomad brandishing the bones and hammering their chests fiercely, the soft chain armor was unable to defend against this level of bludgeoning. The whole person was knocked to the ground, the broken ribs slanted inward and pierced straight. Into his soft internal organs.
This kind of weapon called Guduo is also a thing made by the warchief in advance by using the knowledge of traversing. It is a slender wooden handle ranging from 50 cm to 100 cm, with a solid metal ball fixed on the front end. Like a hammer, hit it and it’s over.
In view of the exaggerated, almost 100% armor rate of the two Roman empires, this bludgeoning armor-piercing hammer is very popular with those barbarians who are not as strong as the horses and cannot break armor by strange power.
Seeing that the defensive cavalry’s refusal and the low wall were torn down seven or eighty eight, the death squad slowly retreated under the cover of arrow rain, holding up a shield, and Hermann’s most elite heavy cavalry quickly came out!
The five-hundred heavy cavalry quickly fired three arrows at the elves with a short bow in their hands. After harassing and disrupting the elves’ spear array, they immediately pulled out the five-meter-long heavy lance behind them. Both legs clamped the horse belly, forcing him to increase his speed to the highest level! A deadly assault was launched toward the solid line of defense composed of adventurers, mercenaries, and conscripts!
It stands to reason that survival is an animal’s instinct. Horses don’t charge towards something that looks painful like the tip of a spear. Ever since, mankind invented the cheating thing of blindfold. Train your horse to trust your master. Walk slowly, charge, and turn without seeing your eyes. It took several months to cultivate the relationship and trust of both parties…
Very good, this is an excellent war horse!
“AlanNure Painhes!!!” The five hundred heavy armored cavalry screamed the name of the warchief and rushed to the pass of the hot spring pass. After the people, horses, and armors gathered together. The behemoth that weighs almost a ton, with the terrifying kinetic energy generated when running at 60 kilometers per hour, all gathered on the tip of the five-meter lance at this moment!
One inch long, one inch strong, and the number of elf archers inferior, can’t lift their heads under the pressure of the opponent’s arrows, and can’t make too many counterattacks. Before the two-meter five-meter spear reached the chest of the horse, it was torn and penetrated by the nomadic five-meter lance. Poke their flesh, bones, and internal organs. The elves that were hit by the horses are like light and fragile objects. They were knocked into the air by the huge kinetic energy. The blood and corpses hit the heads of the soldiers in the back row. on!
The soldiers in the front row fell like weeds under the heavy cavalry charge, but under the impact of their war horses, their hands that had been distorted and deformed, also clutching spears, gave these prairie horses a fatal blow, sharp spears. Sharp, deeply submerged in the flesh and blood of the horse, splashed with large scars of blood.
“For the Empire!!!”
Under the leadership of a powerful adventurer, the elves in the back immediately filled the vacancy in the front row, brandishing spears, halberds, and assassinating the heavy cavalry that fell together with the horse, and even the heavy cavalry who charged in the first wave Annihilate.
In the first round of probing between the two sides, more than two hundred elves died in a massive charge, but there were also a hundred heavy cavalry, and the entire army was wiped out in just a few seconds.
Hermann was stunned. The width of the battlefield was so narrow that the five hundred cavalrymen could not fully deploy. The real charge to the enemy was only one hundred households. The remaining four hundred people were crowded together. They had long lost their charge and were even killed. The elves’ crazy offensive was forced to retreat.
The fierce battle went on for a whole day and night. Hermann tried his best. One-third of the army’s arrow reserves were wasted in this small pass. Whether it was a cavalry charge or a long infantry battle, they couldn’t charge. Open the barrier of the elves, there are many experts among them. There are three wizards who can compete with the shaman of the clan. Fireballs are in the air, exploding and colliding, dyeing the entire sky into a scarlet face, but they can’t hurt the soldiers. A cent.
Ten thousand household chiefs even organized all thousand household chiefs and one hundred household chiefs together, and personally led them to dismount and fight on foot, trying to use this absolute elite force to penetrate the enemy’s defense line.
However, this extremely sharp offensive spear was stopped by hundreds of experienced adventurers. Although these skirmishers did not have the awareness and discipline of fighting in a large army, they were not inferior to any tribe in terms of fighting alone. Grassroots officers.
On the second day, another 30,000 households also came to the hot springs. The increase in this number was meaningless. The width of the battlefield caused both sides to put up two-digit soldiers for fierce fighting at the same time, and then it was meaningless. If they continue to consume, even their food will be in short supply.
After hearing the feats of these volunteers at Wenquan Pass, Geyuting also reacted. The Black Sea Fleet, full of soldiers, began to rush towards Greece along the broken coastline of the Balkan Peninsula…
